Research Opportunities

Description:
Laura Warren Hill, PhD is an associate professor of History in the Department of Human Development in the College of Community and Public Affairs. She is the author of Strike the Hammer: The Black Freedom Struggle in Rochester, NY, 1940-1970 (Cornell University Press, 2021), co-editor of The Business of Black Power: Community Development, Capitalism and Corporate Responsibility in the Postwar Era (University of Rochester Press, 2012) and a frequent contributor to Black Perspectives and various academic journals as an author and reviewer.

This is a joint project with scholars from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Alfred University, and public and community historians, located within ßÙßÇÂþ»’s Human Rights Institute. In the next 18 months, we anticipate the addition of scholars researching policing in Albany, Buffalo and Syracuse as well. The research consortium will serve as a hub for local, state and national research, FOIL requests, tracking compliance with state and federal edicts, as well as informing policy and practice across upstate New York. This project has the potential to create a significant impact on research (publications) and practice in communities across the state.
We are seeking students with an interest in community research, public policy and using Artificial Intelligence to do coding.
